ASBPE Kicks Off 2010 Azbee Awards of Excellence Competition

It’s that time of year again! ASBPE is now accepting entries for its 2010 Azbee Awards of Excellence competition. Don’t miss your opportunity to enter one of the most competitive and prestigious award programs for business-to-business, trade, association, and professional publications.

A change to the divisions of the 2010 annual Print Azbee Awards of Excellence contest will make small publications more competitive. Instead of being circulation-based, as in prior years, the two divisions will be revenue-based to help ensure a fairer and more balanced awards program.

You have until January 25 to enter this competition, which is open to U.S.-based print magazines and newsletters. To make it easier for you to enter, ASBPE offers an online entry system. Simply fill out the online forms, upload a PDF of your entry, and enter your payment information, and you’re done. You no longer have to spend hours searching for magazine issues, clipping out pages, and preparing to put your entries in the mail. While some categories, such as Magazine of the Year, require hard copies, most entries can be submitted electronically.

ASBPE membership is not required for entry, but members will receive a discount on entry fees. In addition, ASBPE is offering a discount to publications that enter completely online instead of submitting hard copies. With budgets tight at many publishing companies nationwide, we’re doing everything we can to make it affordable and easy for you to enter.

To enter the competition, please visit our Web site at http://www.asbpe.org/. If you have any questions, please e-mail Holly Lundgren at asbpe.info@asbpe.org

Thank you for your support of ASBPE. We wish you the best of luck for the 2010 competition.
